Life is less than nothing without love.
It is no great misfortune to oblige ungrateful people, but an unsupportable one to be forced to be under an obligation to a scoundrel.
We love and live in power; it is the spirit's end. Mind must subdue; to conquer is its life.
One thought settles a life, an immortality.
I cannot be content with less than heaven.
The worst way to improve the world is to condemn it.
